My son pretty good in Maths and sit for most Maths competitions as mentioned in this thread.
After ... ANChan59,
Thanks for your sharing. What programs did your son attend in Imperial College when he was 14? My son also received invitation to join Imperial College's program when he was in P6. At that time, he was not ready to go abroad to study alone though I found some programs quite interesting. So we didn't push him. Later we thought of trying Johns Hopkins U Summer Program jointly offered with HKUST in HK but time clashed with other engagement. He is now a F2 boy and maybe a good time to reconsider those programs offered by Imperial College or Johns Hopkins. Do you have any views on Johns Hopkins Summer Program run in HKUST campus too? Are they equally good when compared with Imperial College?
My son's interest in Maths mainly affected by his Maths Team teacher in primary school (a young, energetic, humorous guy, major in Physics) and reading quite a number of Maths books by Ian Stewart, Martin Gardner .. etc. His primary school didn't push them for open competitions and so during P5 to P6 he only participated in two Maths group competitions. The only individual Maths test he joined was World Class Arena for aged 12-14 when he was in P5 2nd Term. To my son, I think inspiring teacher, stimulating books, as well as like-minded peers are the main reasons for his ongoing interest in Maths so far, while competitions or tests are only by-product (he was not keen on). I think good Maths courses or summer programs would help him explore more what his real interest is in.
Just my some sharings.
